I would think an investor would want a believable specific answer to the following question: "When and how will I get my money back?" It can be uncertain (risk is part of the game), but you can't just wave your hands around on that point. As to why sympathetic rich people are apparently not willing to toss this consideration aside, it doesn't make much sense to me unless they simply don't think specific approaches are feasible -- although there's also a disconnect between sympathies and checkbooks, which is why we have cliche phrases like "put your money where your mouth is" and "talk is cheap".
